What’s your threshold of ‘in mass’? Because it was 1/9 recent college graduates working low wage jobs as of mid-2023.
In June 2023, about 11.2 percent of recent college graduates were working in low-wage jobs in the United States. This is a slight increase from June 2021, when 10.8 percent of recent college graduates were working low-wage jobs.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York classifies low-wage jobs as those that tend to pay around 25,000 U.S. dollars or less. Recent college graduates are defined as those aged 22 to 27 with a bachelor’s degree or higher and not enrolled in further study.
11% of recent graduates with degrees working low wage jobs feels like they’re actually working these roles en masse after all.
Post OP and others continue to downvote - yet can’t counter.
Personally, I was turned off by you saying that the other commenter was being “A bit disingenuous.” just because you disagreed with them, despite the fact that I otherwise agree with your point.

11% is certainly not nothing, but the vast majority are not working these jobs.
I’m not really sure how you can look at 11% and say “yes, they are working these jobs en masse”. A bit disingenuous.

I stand by that. It is a bit disingenuous (purposefully or ignorantly) to call 11% “en masse”.
So you genuinely think that the commenter was being insincere by making that remark?
I don’t attribute it to malice. A misleading claim is just that, misleading, whatever their intentions.
It’s alright if we disagree.
